Last time I checked hard disks had moving parts! ;-D I agree that the transfer mode is the important change. Of course, there is absolutely nothing that have stopped the industry from doing this right all along, even with CD -they just haven't most of the time. P.S: Using the SB with an external DAC reintroduces the exact same old problem. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
